Singer Lewis Capaldi’s great friend and fellow artist Yungblud has spilled the tea about the Scottish artist’s new music, saying the music is “sounding great”.
The ‘Before You Go’ singer has been on a break from the industry since June 2023, after vocal tics plagued his singing, a symptom of Tourette’s syndrome, which led the singer to break down during his performance on the Glastonbury stage. Lewis has been off social media and such ever since, taking a much deserved break to help himself feel better.
Doncaster Pop-Punk singer, Yungblud, who recently returned with his new single ‘Hello Heaven, Hello’ and who has also been known to be a very close friend of Capaldi’s, has revealed his friend has been focusing on getting his mental health back on track but has some really great new material in the bag waiting for future releases.
The rock singer shared with The Sun about their friendship: “We’ve always been the same. We knew each other before any success. It’s important to find friends who know you before anything and I think we’ll always be behind the bar in some pub until we’re 70. I have heard his new music, and it sounds great. He is getting his mental health right. I love him, as me and him have been on this ride together. We experienced it at the same time, and he is perhaps the only friend who knows what I am going through, in the same way I know what he’s going through.”
Lewis Capaldi, shared a statement on Instagram after his Glastonbury set which read: “First of all, thank you to Glastonbury for having me, for singing along when I needed it and for all the amazing messages afterwards. It really does mean the world. The fact that this probably won’t come as a surprise doesn’t make it any easier to write, but I’m very sorry to let you all know I’m going to be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future. I used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like this and I’d hoped 3 weeks away would sort me out. But the truth is I’m still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette’s and on Saturday it become obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come.”
The Scottish singer’s second album ‘Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent’ raced to number 1 in the UK charts in 2023 was the latest release from the artist. He has then shared a few snippets of music on Instagram but hasn’t been active since the beginning of the year 2024.
